Chapter 5379 (five thousand three hundred and seventy-nine) acts of kindness
"Of course!" the man said, "He is a person who knows how to do magic, but I... am just an ordinary person, so much stronger."
The man with gray hands asked: "Do you usually think that the strong will bully the weak?"
The man said: "Yes."
The gray-hand man asked: "Then do you think he bullied you?"
The man said: "He... didn't."
The gray-hand man said: "You think he helped you instead?"
The man replied: "Yes... I was looking for him."
"If you go find him, he can choose to help or not, right?" the gray-handed man asked.
"Yes." The man said.
The gray-hand man said: "But he helped you. Isn't this different from what you think of the relationship between people?"
The man said: "He is a magician... something different."
"Why are the alchemists different?" the gray-handed man asked.
The man said: "Because... the alchemist will be subject to some restrictions."
The gray-hand man said: "Do you think the alchemist will do something for you because he has to do it?"
The man said: "I can't say I have to... but..."
The Gray Hand asked, "But what?"
"But... I don't know how to say it. I just think... alchemists and ordinary people... are still different." The man said.
"Do you think the alchemist will be kinder to others?" the gray-handed man asked.
"I don't know much about it. I just heard... I heard people say that there are certain things that alchemists should not do carelessly. If they do, they will... pay a serious price." The man said.
The man with gray hands asked: "You said 'can't' do it." The man said: "Yes, what I heard is this kind of person... there are some things that can't be done, but... I will think about it if there are some things that can't be done." They will be willing to do things for others, so that...it will be better for themselves.”
The man with gray hands asked: "Is this what you guessed?"
The man said: "Yes, because... I just think that since they can't do some things and will be restricted, then... there should be some things that are good for people like them. The reason why he is like this is probably ...It’s just because it will be good for them.”
The man with gray hands asked: "Do you think he helped you for his own good?"
The man said: "It should be so...Although I didn't see at the time whether he was doing it for his own good or not, and he seemed very sincere, but...I think it might be like this."
The man with gray hands asked: "Do you think he is a good person?"
The man said: "Good? What is good?"
The gray-handed man said, "What do you think?"
The man said: "I...I don't know either."
The gray-hand man said: "Have you never thought about this problem?"
"It's not that I haven't thought about it." The man said, "After all, I have heard the concept of good and evil from others, but... I don't think there is absolute good and evil."
The man with gray hands asked, "Have you ever heard anyone say that other people are good people before?"
"I've heard of it," the man said.
"Do you agree with that man?" asked the man with gray hands.
"There's no point in agreeing or disagreeing." The man said, "I just think that a person...doing so-called good deeds has his own purpose."
The man with gray hands asked: "In your impression, there is no one who does good deeds for the benefit of others?"
The man said: "Yes, but...it should be good for himself when it is good for others."
